The forest fires in the west have created a cloud over Florida and could affect photosynthesis in the area. Forest fires has the most effect on the environment like vegetation, wildlife, soil ,water ,air, and human health/welfare. Photosynthesis is the major function of every green plant. Fire can injure or kill a small part of a plant or the entire plant so small trees and animals take less time and heat to kill than larger ones. Depending upon the specific environment fire will sometimes be…
turtles, effects on various species, fish, marine invertebrates and spinner dolphins, coral damage, release of harmful pollutants, marine debris and the introduction of invasive species, recreational water/beach activities (Papahānaumokuākea Management Plan Environmental Assessment, 2008). Collectively the human threats were categorized into biological (negative interactions amongst, mechanical (physical damages or abrasion to species) and thermal (inadequate temperatures). Certainly these…
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, humans lived as foragers. They were knowledgeable about the environment because they were nomadic. They made sure that their population was small, which caused them to travel quickly. Due to climate change, areas surrounding the Fertile Crescent started to grow plants of wild food. The Natufians became sedentary by settling in the Fertile Crescent. Their population started to grow dramatically, which caused them to start farming to feed their families. The…
